I see what you're saying and agree. If there's readily available water, then why pack that heavy stuff. I was assuming, since they appeared to be quite dehydrated, that perhaps the lake water was undrinkable. Maybe they just didn't know to hydrate regularly? Sounds like a combination of heat and dehydration did them in.
